10 Most Remote Inhabited Places on Earth

Thanks to
modern technology and air travel, the world is forever becoming a
smaller place. Where journeys from one continent to another once took
months, they now take hours, and sometimes it seems like there is
nowhere left for a would-be adventurer to really get away from it all.
Still, if you have the time, money, and know-how, there are still some
places off the map or just barely on it that remain shrouded in mystery
simply by virtue of being really difficult to reach.

From mining camps at the top of the
world, or tiny islands thousands of miles from civilization, Here are
some of the most remote places left on planet Earth.Tristan da Cunha

Tristan de Cunha is the most remote
inhabited place in the world. It is in Atlantic Ocean and the nearest
land to the island is South Africa, which is roughly 1,700 miles away.
The island has a total population of 271 people. Easter Island

Located some 2,000 miles west of the
Chilean Coast, Easter Island, is a tiny island that has become famous
for its remarkable massive rock sculptures called Moai. La Rinconada, Peru

La Rinconada is a small mining town in
Peru which is located nearly 17,000 feet above sea level is considered
the “highest” city in the world, and it is this stunning geography that
makes it so desolate. The city is located on a permanently frozen
glacier, and can only be reached by truck via treacherous and winding
mountain roads. McMurdo Station, Antarctica

Located literally at the bottom of the
world, Antarctica is easily one of the most remote places on the face of
the Earth. There are no native inhabitants to the continent, but only
1200 scientists and researchers. Cape York Peninsula, Australia

Cape York, Peninsula, a huge expanse of
untouched wilderness located on the country’s northern tip. The region
has a population of only 18,000 people, most of whom are part of the
country’s aboriginal tribes, and it is considered to be one of the largest undeveloped places left in the world. Ittoqqortoormiit, Greenland

At 836,000 square miles in size,
Greenland is the world’s largest island, but its tiny population of
57,000 people means that it’s also the most desolate. And of all the
towns in Greenland, perhaps none is as remote as Ittoqqortoormiit. Kerguelen Islands

Also known as the “Desolation Islands”
for their sheer distance from any kind of civilization, the Kerguelen
Islands are located in the southern Indian Ocean. The islands have no native population other than some scientists and engineers from France, which claims them as a territory. Pitcairn Island

Pitcairn Island is a tiny speck of land
located nearly dead in the center of the southern Pacific Ocean. It has
a population of some fifty people. The nearest land to them is Tahiti
which is several hundred miles away. Alert, Nunavut, Canada

Located in Canada Alert is a small
village that lies on the Arctic Ocean only 500 miles below the North
Pole. It is widely considered to be the northernmost permanently
inhabited place in the world. The nearest town to Alert is a small
fishing village some 1,300 miles away. Motuo County, China

Considered the last county in China
without a road leading to it, Motuo is a small community in the Tibetan
Autonomous Region that remains one of the few places in Asia still
untouched by the modern world.source
